Chapter 287
At eight o’clock the next morning. Alex stepped out of the elevator right on time. “Don’t forget to remind me about the blind date at two o’clock,” he told Barry as he settled into the back seat of the car.
Barry, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to face Alex. After a moment, Harry gathered his thoughts. “Mr. Warren, what did you say?
With a tired look on his face, Alex leaned back in the luxurious car and pinched the bridge of his nose.
He explained. “My Mom made a big scene at my place last night. She thought I was gay, and she almost took Luck away with her. Now she insists I go on this blind date.
“But what about Ellie?” Barry asked.
“If I tell my Mom that I have feelings for a widow, she might just have a meltdown” Just thinking about the situation made Alex feel downcast
Barry said, “Mr. Warren, Jerome had a meeting last night and spoke to the media, suggesting that you have a questionable past. He hinted that you used underhanded tactics to manipulate your way into the board.”
Alex let out a heavy sigh filled with disdain. “Right now, our top priority is to put together a core team. If we don’t, everything else we do won’t
matter.
“Once I have a solid position at Warren Group, 111 take on those old–timers one by one.”
“Yes. Mr. Warren Barry said, stealing another glance at Alex
Though Alex had returned, the Warren family was in decline. Their control had been stripped away, and Warren Group was being secretly taken over by the board members.
The core team that Alex had worked hard to build had been broken down over the past five years. The only assistant left, Chris, had become just a supervisor in the sales department
Luckily, five years ago, Alex had given Chris a generous check of 20 million for operational expenses. This allowed him to survive and stay at Warren Group while quietly scouting and keeping a few key individuals.
Although Alex had returned through unconventional means, the real power had already been seized. Every direction coming from the CEO’s office was now ineffective
In the past, Alex could have fixed these issues almost overnight. His restraint now was proof of the heavy toll those five years had taken on him.
A few days later, Ellie arrived at Bondie Private Hospital and was immediately confronted by Quinlee at the elevator. “Did you throw away my things?” Quinlee demanded.
Sering Quinler’s furious face, ready for a public confrontation, Ellie chose to stay silent and walked toward the director’s office. Quinlee followed closely, shouting, “Ellie, stop right there,”
“How dare you?” Quinler said, not finishing her r sentence as Ellie’s sharp interruption
made her stop
In the hallway, Ellie shot a warning look at Quinlee. “Let’s handle this in Mark’s office. If you keep making a scene in public, you’ll be asked to leave the hospital”
Quinder was caught off guard by the icy determination in Ellie’s eyes, forcing herself to hold back any further comments.
At Jinerity, the Janssen family had grown noticeably colder towards Quinler, seemingly starting to suspect her identity, even though they had no
She needed to tell the Warren family
mily that she saved Orion, she had to use her status as the second daughter of the Janssen family to become Orion’s wife, Alex’s sister–in–law, and the future matriarch of the Warren family.
Having signed a confidentiality agreement that prevented her from speaking, she’d need to find ways for others to leak the information she held. Ellie knocked on Mark’s office door and entered, just as Quinlee bursi in right behind her. Mark appeared from the changing room, freshly dressed, Ellie turned to Quinlee anul said. “If you have something to discuss, talk aboan it in front of Mark”
ark, I’m family to the patient. Ellie disposed of my belongings while I was away. What gives her the right?” Quinler exchimed.
Mark glanced at Ellie and replied calmly. “Ellie is the attending physician for the patient. She has the authority to make those decisions. As a family, you’re expected to cooperate” Mark had always followed strict procedures.

Elbe kept her serious expression as she addressed Quinlee firmly. I told you before that dangerous items, like flammable and explosive materials, valuable possessions, and metals, aren’t allowed in the ward.
Tspecifically warned you about any psychoactive substances for the patient, but you ignored all my warnings.”
A soda can that Quinlee had carelessly left behind could have easily turned into Orion’s weapon, putting Linda at risk.
Mark added. T submit a request to transfer Ms. Janssen out of the hospital.”
“On what grounds can you kick me out?” Quinlee protested.
“You can’t work with Ellie to provide Orion with a safe recovery environment, so you can’t stay. Mark stated.
“But I’m Onion’s fiancee!”

“We have work to do: please leave” Ellie was determined not to see Quinlee any longer and urged her to go. Quinlee shot a resentful look between Ellie and Mark before storming out.
Ellie expressed her worries, knowing just how cunning that woman could be.

“What do we do now, Mark? Once Quinlee was
“We’ll follow protocol and do our best to have her removed from the hospital; the rest will be handled by others, Mark replied, showing he understood the seriousness of the situation.
Jason had personally gone to the border to bring Orion back, skipping military hospitals and Jaslands Hospital, and had Orion delivered straight to Mark’s private hospital, specifically requesting that Ellie be Orion’s attending physician.
Moreover, Jason provided no additional explanations regarding Quinler and forbade any inquiries–clearly implying the importance of discretion. It was best to avoid unnecessary complications, as curiosity could lead to trouble.
Mark wasted no time and submitted the application. By the end of the day. Ellie received a call from him, telling her to
to go to Orion’s room to inform Quinlee it was time for her to leave.
Ellie put on her professional face. “You can’t be here twenty–four seven, but you’re welcome to visit at any time as a family member.
“I just want to say a few words to Orion before I go Quinlee surprisingly cooperated and entered the ward.
Ellie didn’t have time to consider Quinlee’s motives. The absence of Quinlee would surely relieve many burdens in her and Linda’s tasks together. That evening, as Ellie wrapped up her shift, she was on a video call with her two children while making her way to the parking lot of the hospital. Suddenly, a horn blared, and Quinlee’s car screeched to a stop right in front of her. Quinlee rolled down the window as Ellie approached Quinlee. Faced with Quinlee’s provoking expression, Ellie tightened her grip on her half–empty water bottle and sprayed the remaining contents all over Quinler. Quinler shrieked, quickly grabbing tissues to wipe her drenched face.
“Ellie, you horrible woman!” Quinlee shouted. “Even if you kick me out, by douung her with the rest of the water, soaking Quinlee completely.
